Bruce Springsteen
The Ties That Bind (Live at Winterland Arena, San Francisco, CA - Dec. 15, 1978)
[Intro]
This is for all those guys
This is a new song, this is called "The Ties That Bind"
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
You been hurt, and you're all cried out, you say
You walk down the street pushin' people outta your way
You packed your bags alone tonight to ride
You don't need nothin', don't need no one by your side
You're walkin' tough, baby, but you're walkin' blind
To the ties that bind

[Chorus]
The ties that bind
No man can break the ties that bind

[Verse 2]
A cheap romance, you say it's just, just, just a crutch
You don't want nothin' that anybody can touch
You're so afraid of being somebody's fool
Not walkin' tough, baby, not a-walkin' cool
You walk cool, but baby, can you walk the line
And face the ties that bind?
[Chorus]
The ties that bind
No man can break the ties that bind

[Bridge]
Whoa, whoa, I
I'd rather feel thе hurt inside
Yes, I would, darlin', than know
Know that empty hеart that you hide
Yes, I would, darlin'
Yes, I would, darlin'
Yes, I would, honey

[Chorus]
It's the ties that bind
No man can break the ties that bind
You can't forsake the ties that bind
You just can't shake the ties that bind
Alright
